The Chicago Cubs Insiders released a prospect player watch, on June 2, 2019. There are six players on the list of young Cubs to keep an eye on as they work in the Cubs farm system. Listed in the group is pitcher and Sparta’s Ethan Roberts. The Cubs Insiders states, “The young reliever from Sparta, Tennessee, is really starting to get the hang of this closing thing at the minor league level. With a fastball in the low 90s and a curve in the upper 70s, he is able to keep hitters off balance. Most of his outings are two-inning affairs, which allows him to work on his arsenal more than your average closer.” The other players listed are Javier Assad, Andy Weber, Brennen Davis, Faustino Carrera, and Chris Morel.
